Could be a good idea to mention, if not celebrate, Maryna Viazovska on this sub....I mean, right?
Came here a few years ago when the first woman won it, and....crickets. Sub members also didn't seem to know who Jennifer Doudna was.
Anyway, Ukrainian number theorist Maryna Viazovska just won a Fields Medal, which basically puts her in a realm of accomplishment in endeavors of intelligence populated by very, VERY few people.
Could be a good opportunity for those with XX to investigate and reflect on this accomplishment, maybe put it into perspective alongside Lise Meitner's career. Who knows...new eyes are only a discussion away. So, who's your favorite Fields Medal winner?

Sure, biggest no brainer Nobel in a while. Only gravity waves are in the same category.
